A little problem with my 77 BGT (servo) brakes...
When idling applying the brakes causes a gentle but persistent rise in RPM,
up to 2000 and still going.
Today the edge has gone from the brakes - they work but I have to push harder
and they don't inspire confidence.
There is still pressure in the system - switching off with the pedal pressed
I feel the pressure drop.
I thought (and hope) its a vacuum leak - the manifold to servo hose looks
old but isnt obviously perished. Do I need a special hose to replace it?
Could the 'one-way' valve in the manifold be stuck?
Would renewing the servo filter help or is the servo itself likely to be on
the way out?
Any advice gratefully recieved - the suns shining and I don't want it off
the road!
